Weight: 125.00 kg	Eyes: Brown

Appearance: 6'2" tall, built like a linebacker. For a costume he wears a trench coat, blue jeans, T-shirt, and a ski maskPersonality: Ox is a good guy, maybe somewhat violent, but he would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. he loves kids and will go a long way to make sure they are safe.Quote:GO HOMEBackground: Ox killed the man, never said differently. The man had touched his kid sister, in ways that an eight year old girl never should be touched. He rung the man's neck.

 

When it turned out that the man was a cop, well that was a problem. Ox was convicted but do to the circumstances of the case was given only 5 years. He was released from jail a few months ago.

 

When he returned to the city he found that his old man had passed on leaving him and his sis the auto shop. Well she could handle the books he figured while he fixed the cars.

 

He was even getting a rep for getting some kids to clean up there act, stop taking drugs, studing, etc... It seemed that there were always kids hanging around the garage getting help with there homework, or just talking to ox.

 

All was going well, till one night a couple of months ago, he wandered into the back ally to have a smoke. He was jumped by someone, the next thing he knows he is being pumped full of some crap he would never have done in his life. The only thing that was said was "This is what you get for messing with my kids"

 

Ox is sure he was ment to die, and he got close that night, but in the morning his body was on the mend, and now he is stronger and tougher than he ever thought possible.

Powers/Tactics: After the attack Ox turned into something of a brick, his basic stratagy for a fight has not changed (Charge in, beat the crap out of them, ask questions, beat them some more)Campaign Use: Note: Character still has 25 points

Re: Defenders of Dark City Character write ups for review.

 

Interesting write-ups. The Doctor is not very good at his chosen profession. He needs a PS and his Paramedics should be something on the order of 15- or he should have penalty skill levels to avoid taking minuses due to lost BODY. His SS - Anatomy should also be insane since he is a surgeon.

 

Overall factoring in point squeeze these are good usable write-ups despite my quibbles with the MD.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate them.

 

Some thoughts on your comments:

 

I am of the mind that 11- is a profesional level, at 13- he is pretty good at his job. He will use his Everyman skill for PS: Doctor 11-, also we use a lot of complimentary rolls so he will be able to use Anatomy & Medicine to compliment his paramedic normaly, you can also add in the bonus for a good hospital as well. But I do agree that as a battlefield medic he is not the greatest

 

And I will also add Point Squeeze was a pain, most of these characters could have been 300 with little effort, with the ironic exception of the most physicaly powerfull member Trench who is 20 points shy...

One night when she was leaving work she was accosted by a group of 6 guys, they quickly subdued her and had there way with her.
